Laser structuring on air cushion plates

Air cushions revolutionise the laser process as the substrate is moved into a floating position by the generated air cushion. To do this, optimised linear motor axes with parallel grippers guide it precisely through the laser beam.

Straightforward assembly and adjustment by means of rails: no alignment of individual air cushions

Higher throughput thanks to increased speeds

Optimised for the respective application: the entire system is designed by Festo

Substrate transport on air cushion plates

The coated substrates are "floating" as the air cushions transport them virtually contactless through the process. Special suction cups hold the glass without leaving any residue, while electric drives control the movement.

Virtually contactless handling of the glass modules
